promiscuity

A loose term for sexual promiscuity-a common pattern of behaviour in which sex is valued for its variety and immediate gratifications rather than as one of the important bases for a long-term relationship. Some psychologists equate promiscuity with social immaturity; others hold it to be unrelated. Promiscuity has always carried penalties of some kind, often in the form of sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhoea, herpes and Chlamydial infections. In an AIDS context, these have become much more significant.

The History Channel's new three-hour documentary, ``JFK: A Presidency Revealed,'' takes us on a walking tour of Kennedy's greatest (and worst) hits - the Cuban missile crisis and the Bay of Pigs, the civil rights movement and the Berlin Wall, the glamorous wife and the unrepentant womanizing - and filters it through vaguely recent revelations of Jack concealing his miserable health and the pharmaceutical brew concocted to help him deal with unending pain.

I can't imagine why such an established and well-regarded newspaper as the Daily News could possibly treat your readers to space for an entire editorial as to why we should vote for a womanizing actor with zero political experience to be our next governor.

The Republicans can't get off Bill Clinton to this day regarding his sexual exploits, but they support Arnold Schwarzenegger wholeheartedly, never mentioning his womanizing.
